J. D. C. Goedhart, president of one of the greatest co-operative societies in Hol- land. Originally styled ‘“BHigen Hulp” (Self help) this organization, which was founded here in 1878 with a membership of 315 and the modest capital of $2,100 has now close upon 10,000 members and an annual turn- over of about $1,000,000. The basic principle of the Self Help organiza- tion was to enable the somewhat scantily paid middle and lower class officials of the Dutch civil and mili- tary ices to procure household nec at minimum prices; all net profits realized being returned to the members in the shape of divi- dends, which have grown from $500 in the aggregate in 1878 to nearly $100,000 for last year. Membership is ensured by a first payment of twelve cents, which is the tenth part of a “share,” and no member is al- lowed to hold more than ten shares. On this deposit money a fixed inter- est rate of 4 per cent. is paid. ‘Widespread in Holland. Of late years the co-operative prin- ciple has made enormous strides in Holland. All over the country, co- operative organizations have sprung up. The idea, originally intended for the benefit of government officials only, has been extended and made to apply to widely diversified objects; to agricultural, dairy farming, building and credit societies, until the forma- tion of a central “Netherlands Co- operative Union” became a necessity. This body had an advisory board of experts in all matters concerning co- operation. Holland’s chief wealth lies in her dairying industries, and it is in these branches of produc- tivity that co-operation has proved of the greatest benefit, especially to the small farmer. The agricultural n- stitution known as the Raffeisen Bank at Utrecht has accumulated savings amounting to $2,400,000, and has ad- vanced loans on mortgages to mem- bers of its 250 branches aggregating $1,400,000. The Central Farmers’ Loan bank at Eindhoven, in North Brabant, has 378 branches, a savings bank total of $2,200,000 and a mort- gage loan account of $1,280,000. These are big flgures for a small country like Holland. Difficultics Encountered. The difficulties encountered co-operative societies during the present war have been many and varied; but the public spirit display- ed by the organizers of the various institutions has succeeded in over- coming most, if not all, of the trouble. The Puttershoek Beet Sugar Co-oper- ative society, for instance, which deals with over 100,000 tons of beets annually, fared badly last year owing to the embargo laid on exportation by the Dutch government. On the other hand, undertakings of a purely social character have done better. Only the other day, the mayor of the Hague, Dr. H. A. Van Karnebeek, made an inaugural inspection of u whole new street of little dwelling houses, erected by a co-operative building society with the object of providing cheap .homes for members of the police force and municipal em- ployees. by the CHINA AND JAPAN SETTLE MUKDEN CASE Negotiations Regarding Bomb Inci- dent Have Been Going On For Months. (Correspondence of the Asso. Press.) Peking, Nov. 22.—Announcement has been made of the settlement of the Mukden bomb incident about which negotiations between Japan and China have centered for months. The three Chinese students who were arrested by Japanese officials and held on a charge of having dyna- mited the shop of a Japanese medi- cine dealer last summer are to be turned over to the Chinese authori- ties. However, the conditions under which these students are to be sur- rendered to the Chinese are very dis- tasteful to Chinese newspapers, which are commenting upon them with much bitterness. Under the terms of the agreement, China is to pay twenty thousand dol- lars, Mexican, indemnity to the medi- cine dealer in whose shop the bomb exploded. ~ Wang Lo-min, the Chi- nese whom the Japanese now accuse of having caused the explosion is ta be arrested, tried and punished ac- cording to the evidence collected by the vanese police. The right of the anese to review the judg- ment passed on the prisoner re- served by the Japanese authorities. Punishment is to be meted out to the Mulkden chief of police, and to all his subordinates as a warning that they must preserve order. It is contended by the newspapers that the medicine s dynamited was real- 1y a dcaler of opium and one of the many Japanese charged with violat- ing the Chinese law against the is Chinese um traffic.
